    For over twenty years, Pat Metheny has relied on Ibanez guitars to fuel his innovative jazz guitar artistry. The Ibanez PM3C continues this prestigious collaboration, drawing inspiration from the early days of the electric archtop guitar.

    Featuring a single PM Special pickup, the PM3C captures the rich, smoky tone reminiscent of the legendary Charlie Christian pickups from the 1930s. This vintage-style pickup complements the PM3C’s fully hollow spruce/maple body, enhancing lead lines, rhythm comping, and even effect-laden jazz fusion with superb acoustic resonance and articulation.

    The guitar’s 3-piece maple/nyatoh neck is carved into Pat Metheny's signature PM profile, providing unparalleled playability. The bound ebony fingerboard, adorned with striking inlays, adds a touch of elegance.

    Gold-tinged archtop appointments—such as the floating TOM-style bridge, trapeze tailpiece, and reliable Ibanez tuners—shine under stage lights, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and performance reliability.

    From classic swing to modern fusion, the Ibanez PM3C is a purpose-built instrument designed for the true jazz aficionado, honoring the legacy of a 6-string legend.
